APPLICATION: This broach tool is designed to produce serrations in the counterbore wall of ports prepared per PS10035. The tool will broach aluminum, magnesium, and many steels with hardness of 40 HRC or less. Successful broaching of harder or tougher material may be accomplished, but tool cutter wear is to be expected.

Select the port serration tool for the fitting. This is a hand held serration tool, also known as a broach, Non-Impact type. The tool has a threaded mandrel that screws into the threaded port.

The cutter will now be in position for broaching.

The method of broaching is to screw the large diameter nut, which presses the cutter in to the port. The broach is complete when the tool touches the port surface. Remove tool.
